Oh man, The Office... OH MAN...I used to watch this show religiously 3 years ago, and just last week, I caught up and rewatched all the seasons in less than a week.Now I need more episodes. Fortunately the new season starts in two weeks :D

P.S. go Pam + Jim!! and Michael/Ryan They were recently seen getting married, along with the camera crew on Niagara (the American side of course). What a show for the lucky tourists!

Now, here's a video for all The Office fans (click on the video for the lyrics to all those glorious references)

A good cause is made better when SADIQ and HERACLES approve because Turkiye and Greece are obviously gay for each other and wants to put aside their hate and support gay rights on April 17th mmmkay.
Embrace the incoherency...

History Bites is totally my favorite TV show (that I don't watch on TV....) right now. I try to only watch the ones relating to 16C - 19C European History because they help me with my AP studies (and provide much lulz) but all the episodes are extremely amusing, it's really hard not to waste precious pre-exam time on them OTL...

One of my favorites is the complete episode from season 5 that parodied The Osbournes with the Borgia family (The Osborgias, hurr). Though I had a much more attractive image of Cesare (Yuu Higuri's Canterella, insert long dreamy sigh...) in mind than anyone or anything that remotely resembles Jack Osbourne.Embrace the incoherency...

The pickled peppers were so good, that they warranted their own entry. But I wasn't going to subsist solely on pickled vegetables... I mean, I could. I'd have one bad case of dehydration of malnutrition though.

I took out the newest issue of Vegetarian Times from my local library about two weeks ago. First of, it shocked the hell of me that my tiny local branch had this magazine in the first place. Secondly, well, it shocked the hell of me that my tiny local branch had this magazine. Anyways, sweet I thought, and checked it out, along with some gay erotica and splatterpunk paperbacks (hey Poppy Z. Brite, how's it going). The librarian lady gave me a weird look (obviously not the first one I received).

So, Vegetarian Time is a pretty decent read for vegans. I'd estimate about 2/3rd of the recipes could be easily veganized, and all the other ones (mostly backed good) can be modified with a laborious trip to Whole Foods or experimenting with the chemistry of ground flax or something like that. Surprising though, the first recipe that truly appealed to me is an user-submitted one in the editorial section.

So, here it is. Vegan carrot cake.

I added lemon juice to the icing for some tang.

Didn't have any walnuts, so I used a combination of pecans and Brazilian nuts (which I think taste gross if eaten alone).

I reserved half a roasted red pepper for topping a pizza I made. I used a very popular dough recipe from vegweb.com made with wholewheat flour and the addition of rosemary. I topped it off with some "white sauce"... hrm... humus, haha. Then, I caramelized a large onion with some seasoned TVP grounds, and steamed some spinach. I added those, with a layer of sliced black olives.

That's my lunch for the week!!! Together with that carrot cake, great fuel for writing this week's mid-term exams.
